The landscape that Peter Rabbit first introduced to us in 1902 is still today one of Beatrix Potter's most popular and well-loved worlds. One day, when the house is empty, the two naughty mice, Tom Thumb and his wife, Hunca Munca, make themselves at home, only to find that the delicious looking ham that they were planning to devour is made of plaster, and the fish is glued to the plate! Here, the delightful setting for this most hilarious tale is a doll's house. It was written during a particularly happy time in her life, as reflected in the story's cheerful and care-free tone. So begins 'The Tale of Two Bad Mice', a story written by Beatrix Potter and published in 1904. "Once upon a time, there was a very beautiful doll's-house."
